Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad

1. This was my 83RD Sunday morning with Life Pointe Church in Homestead Florida. I know this for a fact because I keep track of it on an Excel Spreadsheet. I’m documenting my fantastic journey electronically as I follow Jesus Christ with you. It was nearly 19 months ago that I was first greeted by the church as a 1ST-Time Guest on a Sunday morning in January of 2007. I decided during that very first service that this was the church that I was going to attend – my first church in over 30 years since I was a Catholic grade-school student of 7-years-old. I returned the following Sunday morning as a returning 2ND-Time Guest. I became a regular attender after that, and then about 10 months later in December 2007 I officially became a member of my church. Life Pointe Church had no longer become the church that I attended, or the church that I went to. It had become MY church – a church that was not a building, but rather a church that was the living and breathing collective body of people. I am the church. We are the church.

2. One of my favourite parts of the Life Pointe Church experience is participating in our bimonthly membership luncheons where we all gather over at The Capri in Florida City (where all of the food is), eat a delicious Italian Lunch, and then talk about what our church is all about. It’s all about taking that next big step from Regular Attender to Member. It’s all about progressing forward on His fantastic journey for you. It’s all about living more like Him – and looking more like Him in our day-to-day Lives. Your friends, coworkers, acquaintances, etc. should be able to see the miracle of Jesus Christ in you and in your actions. You are a Disciple of Jesus. Act like Him. Follow Him. Lead others to Him.

3. Pastor Jesse did another outstanding job filling in for Pastor Travis (who returns next Sunday morning to kick-off a hot new message series that’s really ‘Loaded’). Jesse spoke with us about ‘True Worshipers’. It’s who God seeks. He seeks a true worshiper who worships in awe, with abandonment, and with intimacy. Once you know God in a truly intimate way you totally love to be in His presence. He is your audience. Talk to Him. Sing to Him. Do so in faith knowing that only He will make your Life absolutely complete.

NEXT SUNDAY MORNING AT LIFE POINTE CHURCH !

Greetings Mis Amigos,

I graciously present to you for your utmost reading pleasure another fine edition of the ‘Shenanigans’ on a Saturday morning. Usually the ‘Shenanigans’ has to do with one of my passions in Life – eating food – and this morning is no exception.

And so I deliver this morning’s ‘Shenanigans’ to you from the Cracker Barrel in Florida City (where all of the food is). I enjoyed ‘Momma’s French Toast Breakfast®’. That’s four delicious slices of their very own Sourdough French Toast totally soaked in pure maple syrup and two scrumptious eggs cooked to order (scrambled) with two juicy smoked sausage patties.

THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN’ ‘BOUT PAUL !

I used to eat a MASSIVE Saturday Morning Breakfast just like this every single week for many years over at IHOP in Naranja Lakes (same day, same time, same table, same waitress). Nowadays a MASSIVE Breakfast is a rare treat (ever since my MASSIVE heart attack elevated cholesterol reading). (Where’s my Lipitor ?)

And so that’s your ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigans’ for this gorgeous Saturday morning in Homestead Florida. May the good food be yours, and – oh yeah – REMEMBER THIS !
